Beard Transplant Using the FUE Method

Beard Transplant Using the FUE Method

  • A beard that improves the manly image is very trendy at present and it is an important symbol for men. Every man wants to have a thick and regular beard. Thin beard can lead to dissatisfaction with own image and it can affect the psyche. Genetics, scars, burns or skin diseases can cause thin beard. In these cases, transplant is the only way how to get a new beard. Beard transplant is a process of implantation of grafts taken from the head, neck or thick part of the beard into beardless areas. Thanks to the newest FUE transplant technology, it is possible to have a new beard without any problems or pain.
  • Beard transplant using the FUE method is done using the Sapphire FUE method, just like with other areas. The new FUE technique, which does not have any side effects, can be used for men of any age. Beards created using this technique look natural. A medical consultation and experience are also important for the success of the beard transplant. If the beard transplant is done using the FUE method, which uses Sapphire tips size 0.6 or 0.7 mm, there will not be any traces visible in the donor zone. Compared to hair transplant, beard transplanted using the FUE method is done by collecting individual grafts and implanting them at an angle of 30-35 degrees. Beard transplant is done using local anesthesia and it takes 2 – 4 hours. The duration of the procedure can differ based on the number of grafts.

Stages of Beard Transplant

  • Consultation: The beard transplant procedure using the FUE method begins with a medical examination, which considers two major aspects. First, the number of grafts is determined and second, where the roots should be implanted. During the final stage of the consultation, beard and moustache lines are proposed based on the person’s desires.
  • Local anesthesia: Administration of local anesthetic eliminates pain and the feeling of discomfort. This way the operation can be done much more comfortable and without pain. Local anesthetic is usually administered using a needle, but patients afraid of needles can use the Comfort-in technique, which does not use needles. Local anesthetic is applied in two different areas. First, the donor zone is made numb and after collecting hair roots, the target zone is made numb.
  • Surgery: The surgery stage consists of three main parts. First, the hair roots are collected from the donor zone and then channels are opened in the area of the beard using Sapphire blades. Finally, hair follicles that undergo certain treatment are implanted into previously opened channels. The growth direction and angle of the beard are taken into consideration during this process.
  • Care: Before leaving the clinic, the will show you what to take care of after the beard transplant and how to wash it. Special treatment is applied on the day of the surgery. Creams for first wash and special care enable the beard roots to be strengthened and adapted to their place.

What Are the Advantages of the Beard Transplant?

A few years ago the absence of beard or a moustache was considered an unsolvable problem. But thanks to the FUE method a missing beard is no longer a problem. A thick trendy beard and a moustache can be achieved using state-of-the-art beard transplant technology.

Results and Regeneration after the Beard Transplant

  • When will the beard grow back? After the surgery, the skin can be pinkish for a few weeks and the hair follicles can be slightly reddish. But after about 2 weeks, this reddishness will completely disappear. The beard will start to grow and will become visible within 2 – 3 days after the hair transplant using the FUE method. During this stage, small buds can be visible in hair follicles. During the days after the transplant the beard, which grows, can be shortened using scissors and a shaver, or it can be left to grow. However, it is recommended not to shave it one month after the transplant. After the second week after the beard transplant, the beard can begin to fall out due to stress. However, there is no need to worry. All of the transplanted fair will reappear within 4 to 8 months. The development of hair follicles in the area where the chin is grown continues 2 years after transplant.
  • Is beard transplant permanent? In the area of beard and the back of the head the hair follicles are very strong. If hair follicles are collected for the hair transplant from these areas, the result will be permanent after they take in.
  • Will the results look natural? Beard transplant using the FUE method is a surgery, which requires experience. For example, hair follicles, which should be used for the transplant, must be single-haired. Hair follicles, which are to be collected from the back of the head, must be used as individual hair. This is because the natural hair follicles in the area of the beard are individual. Double or triple hair roots cause an ugly and unkempt look of the beard. Color distribution of hair follicles is also important, as is the correct angle and direction. Beard transplant using Sapphire tips and the newest FUE technique will certainly look natural.
  • Who is a suitable candidate? Men, who want to undergo beard transplant often complain that their beard did not grow or that it is not as thick as they would like it to be. In these cases, beard transplant is the best solution. Beard transplant using the FUE method can be done in the area of the cheeks, beard, corners and moustache. The surgery can also be performed to hide acne, burns and scars in these areas. The use of hair follicles from the donor zone offers a permanent solution for the loss of hair roots in these areas. The basic goal of the beard transplant using the FUE method is to create a natural beard.
